Chapter 280: National Guardian Beast (Part 2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Eh?

Wang Mang was stunned.

What the f*ck?

National Guardian Beast?

That was something straight out of the novels he used to read as a child!

After coming back to his senses, Wang Mang asked, “What does this entail?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man slowly explained, “It’s like this. Ever since the existence of demons became public in various parts of the world, chaos has swept the world.”

…..

Although the Red Empire’s situation is better than the other empires, it is not optimistic. Therefore, some powerful demon emperors have been selected to become the national guardian beasts of the empire.”

“When that happens, your reputation will be publicized and the citizens of the empire will also come to know of your existence and regard you as their guardian!”

After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Wang Mang was speechless.

Where were the benefits? Was he being asked to perform free labor?

This was a thankless task!

This naturally did not meet Wang Mang’s requirements.

Thinking this, Wang Mang was ready to refuse. In any case, he had already become famous after that incident in the White Empire. All he needed to do was to show his face and tell the world that it had been him. However, what use was fame when the apocalypse arrived?

Furthermore, he would have to protect the lives and safety of the people, at least on paper. Once the apocalypse arrived, he might not even be able to protect himself, much less some random humans.

It was better to leave this role to the demon emperors who had nothing better to do!

Father Wang heard their conversation, but had no intention of speaking at all, as he did not want to expose the fact that Wang Mang was his son.

What if these guys used him to threaten his son?

At this moment, Wang Mang also bluntly said, “Alright, I’ve heard your pitch, but 1 have no time for other things. You should find someone else!”

The middle-aged man’s face darkened when he heard Wang Mang’s rejection.

He knew that this mission was very difficult, but being rejected outright still stung. Anger was useless in this situation anyway.

Wang Mang was not his subordinate. If he provoked him, he might really be killed.

“Lord Demon Emperor, you don’t want us to be reduced to ruins, do you?”

“Actually, among the other empires, there are already those that have reached an agreement with the demons.”

“For example, the Siluo Kingdom. Their national guardian beast is the Super King Kong!”

“Eh? The Gorilla Emperor?” Wang Mang asked in surprise.

“Impossible! Unless he had nothing better to do in life, he would be stupid to take up that role!”

“Unless of course, the Siluo Kingdom had offered enough benefits to tempt the Gorilla Emperor!”

After listening to Wang Mang’s analysis, the middle-aged man nodded. It seemed that this demon emperor was quite intelligent.

Therefore, the middle-aged man slowly explained, “Yes, your analysis is correct. In order to have the Gorilla Emperor take up the role, the Siluo Kingdom promised to plunder all of the heavenly treasures in the Siluo Kingdom for it.”

“Ever since the sun and moon phenomenon appeared, as well as the increasing number of monsters in the sea, you demons seem to have been searching for heavenly treasures all over the world.”

“Python Emperor, if you are willing to be our national guardian beast, we will definitely help you collect the heavenly treasures in your territory!”

“Besides, don’t worry, Python Emperor. We won’t tell you what to do.”

“You can be our national guardian beast in name. We won’t give you any mission orders.”

After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Wang Mang began to hesitate.

He roughly understood the other party’s intentions. The Red Empire just wanted to use his reputation to inspire confidence among its citizens.

If other empires had national guardian beasts, they had one too.

This did not require him to spend too much energy, nor did he need to do anything.

To Wang Mang, this was acceptable, and the other party’s conditions were not bad. Furthermore, it was easier for the empire to search for heavenly treasures than it was for him to do so.

He might be more powerful, but they had more people and the technology to do so.

Then, while he was hesitating, the system’s voice suddenly rang out.
